#INVESTIGATION: Bulawayo’s Silent Crisis - HIV TB Treatment Defaults Bulawayo is facing a silent but dangerous health crisis. Between 1–5% of patients on HIV and TB treatment are defaulting, threatening progress made in the fight against both diseases.

Defaulting means patients stop or drop out of treatment. This can lead to drug resistance, relapse, and even death, undoing years of investment in free treatment programs.

In an interview with CITE, Bulawayo’s Provincial Medical Director (PMD), Dr Maphios Siamuchembu explained: “People feel better and think they don’t need treatment anymore. But that’s not the case.” Stopping meds too soon can be deadly.

This is not just a medical issue, it’s a social crisis. Stigma, poverty, and poor health-seeking behaviour are fuelling defaults. Communities must be part of the solution.

On October 19, 1978, the Rhodesian army bombed the ZPRA Mkushi Training Base in Zambia, a tragic day in history, recounted by Susan Ncube.
